		<description><![CDATA[At some point in time a previous lot owner cleared a path along this easement and now it is used by the neighborhood as a road. Our association has notified the current property owners that they will no longer provide snow removal as this is private property and not an established road (county assessor confirmed). Now, if  the county assessors records show there is no established road and only two lots with a utility easement then can the current property owners claim a grandfather clause and demand continued snow service as they have received in previous years?"   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I want to build a fence across my property line which would result in me building a retaining wall and filling in my part of the pond. Do I need to file some sort of easement with the property owner to be able to build a retaining wall even if the said wall would be solely within my property line?"]]></description>

I have had nothing but problems with these people and anticipate having to sue for easement access to be able to have this done.  How would you recommend I handle this?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have been in several disagreements with the  next door neighbor and he is the president of the HOA for our section of the community, but not for the whole governing community.  What are my options, I have even offered to obtain the permits from the city and install a 12 inch pipe.  This seems like a vendetta and not justice."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year our neighbor asked us when we were going to move our septic system.  He said that he would never be able to sell his property with our septic on it.  Would an easement be a good solution to this problem?  Or should we move it? One more note, our neighbor poured concrete and put a carport right on the property line after finding out what the surveys had shown. Shouldn't it be at least 3 foot away from us?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've lived in a duplex for 10 months now. The main problem was the  heating vent in the master bedroom did not work at all.  Time  went by, nothing was fixed.  We called the health department and building commissioner  on him and they have recorded pictures and written evidence from when they inspected the building.   Can we file anything against him for refusing to fix anything, especially the heating vent?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are in the process of selling our land and want to make sure the new owners have access to the water shut offs and sewer lines if neccessary. The lawyer won't write up the easement with out the city noting where the water and sewer line lay.  So is it legal for us to write up an agreement and have it notorized and signed by our neighbor?]]></description>

During the survey, it was determined that a portion of the driveway is on "the brothers" (referred to as 2B's from here on) land next door. And does the gas company have any rights to my land even though there is no pipe on it, a large (90' pines with other tall vegetation under them) vegetative buffer barring the use of it, and no recorded easement (there is one on the 2B's land and the previous owner was compensated for it; the 2B's purchased their land with the easement already there)?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Currently, the only people who use the easement are neighborhood children, many of whom ride their bicycles (and on one occasion, a gasoline-powered motorized scooter) through our front yard, past our house, through the backyard, and into the trees beyond.  Our lawn is suffering serious damage because of this. Is it possible to vacate the pedestrian easement, and if so, how?]]></description>
